When it was sold in 2012 at a Sotheby's auction, "The Scream" set a record for being the most expensive piece of art ever sold at auction, according to Reuters.
The pastel painting was originally estimated to have a selling price of about $80 million, but after a 15-minute bidding war, the final price was nearly $120 million.
